Percussion caps
« on: November 22, 2017, 01:55:20 PM »
There are several examples of "maker marked" percussion caps.  J. Goldmark's is a good example that most of us have seen. I just acquired a few examples of caps made by the English Board of Ordnance.  These are marked "BO" and have the English broad arrow.

Jim: Are those found in the US?  What kind of time period are they from?  Love the broad arrow on it.

I believe these were recovered from the Crimea.
